“The Promise of Cinnabar Bracelet”
One week before the college entrance examination, Su Yao received a red cloth bag sent by her grandmother, inside which lay a hand-woven cinnabar bracelet. “Wear it, and the ancestors will bless you.” The handwriting on the note was crooked, but it made Su Yao’s nose sore. In the examination room, she couldn’t help rubbing the dark red on her wrist. When she was stuck on the last big question in the math paper, she suddenly remembered the way her grandmother brewed cinnabar by the stove – hunched over, but insisted on waiting until the sparks turned bright red before stopping. “Our Yaoyao, we must be like cinnabar, the more we grind, the brighter it becomes.” The pen tip suddenly had an idea. On the day of the announcement of the results, Su Yao rushed back to the old house and found that her grandmother was weaving a new bracelet with the remaining red rope. “It’s my turn to tie it for you this time,” she gently tied it around the old man’s skinny wrist, “it’s my turn to bless you with a long life.”
Meaning: The cinnabar bracelet symbolizes inheritance and protection. It is both the care of the elders and a mark of courage, reminding us that the most precious blessing often comes from the simplest sincerity.
